Feeling relaxed!

This past weekend was surprisingly low key. We had a few plans, all of which fell through, and that left us with a whole lot of down time but we kind of LOVED it.

Friday consisted of a much needed rest day from working out, which meant cooking a healthy meal together. I have to say, chopping veggies is so therapeutic. We cut our prep time in half since we both helped! We spent the rest of our evening unwinding from a long work week.

Saturday we were supposed to go to a birthday party but sweet little Nora had a fever so they had to reschedule. Instead we worked out, then cleaned the house a bit. That evening we ended up planning a cheap, last minute date night! Aka lettuce wraps at Jimmy Johns, a long walk around Home Goods and then saw the movie Sing!

Not going to lie...we both wanted this painting BAD.

I've been a pretty big fan of Halo Top for a few months now, but I have to say, there are only a few flavors I like and I think actually TASTE like what the flavor says. I've only tried like 5 of the flavors, but so far I only like Mint chip, Birthday Cake, and the Choc Chip Cookie Dough! Even though its not terrible for you, we try not to buy it often because we truly could eat the whole pint, lol!

As I mentioned above, we saw the animated movie Sing. It was ADORABLE, you guys. Let me remind you, we have no children, we just really wanted to see it!! It was so so good. I highly recommend seeing it, it was so fun for all ages and the singers were amazing! I'm a huge Reese Witherspoon fan, too, so that helped!

Sunday was so great. After church we did our groceries then meal planned/prepped for the week and that always starts my week off right! I guess we needed the sleep because we took nearly a 3. HOUR. NAP! What?!?! It was amazing and I can't remember the last time that happened. Youth group that night was a blast. Those students are honestly the best and we count ourselves lucky to get to spend so much time w/ them!

So I am alone here and that's okay but I think Halo Top is kind of gross. I get that you can eat so much and YAY it's ice cream but if I'm going to get ice cream I want the real stuff. Which I don't do often but I'll take the calories because I want the taste too.

I've seen great things about Halo Top but haven't gotten any and tried it myself. Good for you guys for taking advantage of a low key weekend--those are often times some of the best and you come out of the weekend feeling refreshed instead of like you need another weekend!

I was so tired this weekend at the mountains that I fell asleep on the floor with people talking and the TV on in broad daylight and that NEVER happens to me! #NapsFTW. Annnnd that date night sounds pretty spectacular to me :)
